The Department of Dermatology at the Cooper University Health System offers state-of-the-art dermatologic care, specializing in pediatric, medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Our nationally regarded team offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment of disorders of the hair, skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Our dedicated faculty are board-certified in general dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and dermatopathology, and are leaders in the field of procedural dermatology and Mohs surgery. All faculty are actively engaged in teaching medical students, residents, and fellows, and are prolific contributors to the dermatologic literature. Our doctors are fellows of the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, International Society of Dermatology, and Society of Pediatric Dermatology and are regularly invited to speak at national and international meetings.
The Dermatology Residency at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and Cooper University Hospital Program is committed to the education of the whole person. We encourage our residents to become astute clinicians and compassionate caretakers. The faculty and staff are dedicated to training well-rounded individuals, and are available to interact with and personally advise the residents daily. Unlike larger programs, our residents enjoy a unique faculty to resident ratio of > 2:1, enhancing the overall educational process. We take pride in the fact that our residents and fellows work closely with the faculty, both in the outpatient clinical setting as well as during in-hospital consultations. Each resident maintains a full complement of active academic pursuits, immersing themselves in clinical research endeavors and peer-reviewed journal writing. Since the inception of the program over 25 years ago, we are proud that our graduates continue a first-time 100 percent pass rate on the board certification exam.
In addition to excellent training and mentorship in general dermatology, our practice has a world-renowned Mohs surgeon on staff who lectures both nationally and internationally in the fields of dermatologic surgery and cosmetic dermatology. The Chief of our procedural dermatology and Mohs surgery team has also been the president of the American Society of Dermatology Surgery. In addition, we have recently expanded our Mohs program to include a second board-certified and nationally-recognized attending, further adding to our extensive faculty and training mentors. Our residents receive extensive training using the latest cosmetic procedures, and we are one of the only residency training centers in South Jersey to offer hands-on training in the use of narrow band UVB, PUVA, and Eximer laser phototherapy.
We work closely with MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper coordinating care for our patients with metastatic melanoma, cutaneous lymphomas, and other complex cancers. In addition, we strive to be advocates for the underserved population of Camden and address their health care needs in a compassionate and thoughtful way. We believe that teaching how to address not only the disease, but also the person, with respect to all aspects of care, is the best way to shape our future physicians.

The Cooper Campus and Surrounding Area
It is extraordinary to have such a high concentration of leadership at one institution, but then, Cooper is an extraordinary health care system.
Cooper University Hospital is the center of a growing health sciences campus that includes the hospital, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, the internationally acclaimed Coriell Institute for Medical Research, Sheridan Pavilion at Three Cooper Plaza medical offices, and the Ronald McDonald House. Adjacent to the Cooper Plaza/Lanning Square neighborhood, Cooper has a long history of outreach and service efforts to its local community. Some of these initiatives include health and wellness programs for the neighborhood, development of neighborhood parks and playgrounds, and outreach to programs into local schools.
The hospital’s 312,000-square-foot, 10-story Roberts Pavilion features an expansive lobby and concourse, a restaurant and coffee shop, health resource center, business center, gift shop, and chapel. State-of-the-art patient care facilities include private patient rooms, technologically advanced operating room suites with hybrid imaging capabilities, and an advanced laboratory automation facility. The Emergency Department features 25 beds, dedicated isolation suites, and autonomous CT scanning technology. Designated floors serve specific patient populations including those needing advanced surgical and heart care, along with South Jersey’s only dedicated 30-bed inpatient cancer unit.
Also in the Roberts Pavilion is the 25,000-square-foot Dr. Edward D. Viner Intensive Care Unit—featuring 30 private patient rooms equipped with the latest in advanced technology, and allowing 360-degree patient access. Five patient rooms are capable of negative pressure isolation, and five rooms have chambered isolation alcoves. In addition, an enlarged room with operating room caliber lighting is outfitted to perform bedside exploratory laparotomy in patients too unstable for transport to the operating room.
MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, a four-story, 103,050-square-foot center located on the Cooper Health Sciences Campus in Camden, is dedicated to cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and research. The center includes bright, spacious chemotherapy treatment areas, patient exam rooms, a conference center, and advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies.
The design incorporates an aesthetic approach to healing with abundant natural light, a rooftop Tranquility Garden, an illuminated floor-to-ceiling “Tree of Life” centerpiece, and more than 100 pieces of original art created by 71 New Jersey artists.
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University’s (CMSRU) Medical Education Building is located on the Cooper Health Sciences Campus on South Broadway, between Benson and Washington Streets in Camden. The building, which opened in July 2012, was designed for CMSRU’s curriculum with spaces and technologies to support faculty and students in their educational process.

at Cooper is a direct

in services that Cooper
has experienced over
the past several years.

The Cooper Health Sciences Campus is located in the heart of Camden’s business district. The academic medical center campus is easily accessible by car or public transportation via the commuter high-speed line and bus terminal adjacent to the hospital.
Cooper is a short walk or drive from the exciting Camden waterfront which includes a magnificent waterfront park and marina; the Adventure Aquarium; and the BB&T amphitheater, which hosts nationally renowned entertainment throughout the year. Nearby are the Sixers Training Complex, L3 Communications complex, Lockheed Martin, Rutgers University Camden Campus, and Camden County College. There are expected to be $350M in transportation and infrastructure improvements within the next four- to five-years to handle the influx of thousands of new employees to the area and students at nearby growing academic campuses.
Cooper is conveniently close to Philadelphia. Just a mile-long drive over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge will put you at the doorstep of Philadelphia’s cultural, culinary, and historic venues. South Jersey also offers a range of living and entertainment options. Quaint towns such as Haddonfield and Collingswood are just 10 minutes away. The lights and action of Atlantic City and popular beach towns such as Cape May and Ocean City are a one-hour drive from Cooper.
